Three Nationals pitchers combine for 1-hitter in win over Braves
- On Saturday, Washington Nationals right-hander Jake Irvin held Atlanta hitless through five innings at Truist Park, striking out seven over 80 pitches as the Nationals defeated the Braves 2-0 with a combined one-hitter.
- Irvin, who entered with a 1-4 record and 5.79 ERA after not winning since March 29, benefited from solo home runs by Dylan Crews and Jorbit Vivas off Braves starter Grant Holmes, who struck out 10 in five innings.
- After grimacing following his final out in the fifth, Irvin departed without throwing a pitch in the sixth, with Manager Blake Butera reporting the pitcher felt discomfort in his shoulder or lat area during the game.
- Brad Lord surrendered the Braves' only hit to Michael Harris in the seventh, while Richard Lovelady closed with a perfect ninth for his fourth save to preserve the shutout.
- Butera confirmed Irvin will have an MRI Sunday as Atlanta attempts to avoid only its second series loss of the season in Sunday's finale against Nationals left-hander Foster Griffin and Braves left-hander Martín Pérez.
